English:Tiny Settlement · Locations

Three ruined buildings on a mountain at the eastern edge of the Border Zone, still on the Holy Nation's books but with nobody in them. Nineteen iron plates and eighteen units of building materials are simply sitting there — the cheapest resupply for anyone founding an outpost nearby.

The Tiny Settlement is a small deserted outpost on a mountain in the far eastern Border Zone. It belongs to The Holy Nation on paper, but there are no residents and no roaming guards — three ruined buildings and nothing else.

What is here

Three buildings, with a clear division of labour:

What it means for the player

This is the best-value resupply for a new player founding an outpost in the Border Zone. Nineteen Iron Plates plus eighteen Building Materials is roughly what the first structures and walls cost, and you do not have to fight anybody — walk up and carry it off.

NoteEven though this is a ruined town, Holy Nation Base Assaults can still spawn from this location. Before you build nearby, be clear about what that means — your home would sit next to their staging point.

What else is nearby

The same list of supplies (the top section, not the weapons) can be found at two other places in the area:

Running all three is enough to carry the first phase of a mid-sized outpost.

Why it is a ruin

Its position explains it: the far eastern Border Zone, facing the Shek Kingdom. It was most likely abandoned or destroyed during the war between the Holy Nation and the Shek Kingdom — a conflict that escalated sharply in relatively recent history, as recorded in The Holy Crusade, King Shager's Reign and Shager's Overthrow.

The Holy Nation left the flag on the map. The people left long ago.

Discovered by

Walking near it marks it automatically, as does reading the Map of the Border Zone, which reveals the Tiny Settlement with 100% chance.
